Paphiopedilum concolor var. hennisianum
 

a gorgeous little Paphiopedilum. Actually, the flowers are smaller than what I had expected :roll: but the plus plus is that they are fragrant: light fresh coconut with green apple (the colsest description I could give) during the day. Did not know there were fragrant Paphs :D

Paphiopedilum concolor var. hennisianum is supposed normally have "multiple blooms" spikes. Well, at leats two ;)

enjoy!

So delicate and cute, Ramon. Do you grow this on your windowsill along with your Phrag?

And how big are these blooms?

Very nice.

This one, as well as paph. sukhakulii, Paph. fairrieanum, Paph. Wössner Zwerg and Paph. Wössner Goldsuk, grows under T8 lights. The reason for this? well, I think its only because I do not have enough space on the windowsill and had still some space under the T8 ;) on the other hand Paph. fairrieanum is supposed to need more light.

I have this guy since 3 or 4 months, and this is the first time it blooms here (however, the plant is quite "large" and has "spike rest" on 3 old fans)

The flowers are about 6x5 cm (2.5x2 inches?)

Beautiful, Ramon! Love the subtle yellow coloring. Quite a cutie!

Exactly what I was going to say! With the yellowish/cream color and brown freckles, it reminds me of vanilla ice cream, yum! I have never heard of a scented paph either, so it must not be very common!

Fragrant? that's awesome...How much light can they handle? any direct sun light?

yes, they are lovely... and now that I know what Paph. concolor in real life is... this two others are in my wish list (next time I go to Germany, as they do not deliver to Switzerland :()

How much light they can tolerate? I don'tknow.. my plant is under T8 tubes... Accoridng to IOSPE they grow in the wild under partial shade: IOSPE PHOTOS

the fragrance is very very subtle.. for example, my Partner cannot detect it (but he cannot detect any fragrance in Trochopilia tortilis either)

:faint: I LOVE the Paph sukhakulii! But you should get them all :evil: :rofl:
